When The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launches March 3, players will be diving into a world of Zelda they’ve never seen before. Luckily, you won’t be completely alone if you have own a collection of amiibos as they can give you equipment, food and other treasures. One of the amiibos will even spawn a companion to fight alongside you. Nintendo is launching a new lineup of amiibos to coincide with the release of their new game to add to the already impressive line of Zelda amiibos. The amiibos can only be used once per day.

Here is what each amiibo will do in game.

This 8-bit version of Link is most recognizable as the Link for the original The Legend of Zelda game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

One of these treasures can come in the form of a bundle of fire arrows.
